przedwakacyjny period in a way the cucumber season, when it comes to release plate, so the excuse that you can not see a lot here lately. Eminent review panels for the last little thing, I was thinking about Blue Scholars, but who would it wanted to read? Probably
zostawiłbym you shepherds, therefore, no further entry in the weekly duration of my leave. It has become an important thing, however, yet sad. Thing that every rap fan should know. Important enough to break the tradition of this blog consisting of reviewing news.
May 27 left Gil Scott-Heron, a figure somewhat forgotten, but for rapmuzyki extremely important. This
born in 1949, musician, artist, thinker, and in a sense, helped create, the idea of \u200b\u200bclothing, identification afrocentrycznego trend in music. What this meant for the mainstream hip-hop, unless you do not need anyone to explain ...
But I do not know what kind of gil again, such a nose?
...
Well, I suppose, then, that you're listening to dumb oaf Polish "rap."
so I'll take you on a journey to Matola fairytale 1971, the year in which women were beautiful, the road straight and equal, and honest politicians.
this year is Gil Scott-Heron, who was already a very successful debut, "Small Talk at 125th and Lenox " also sits nicely among the accomplishments that affect the emergence of rap, releasing his second album, already known for "Pieces Of A Man." For this is the average murzyniec cedeku then be able to find quite a few thoughts on the daily life of another, better known murzyńca.
presented to the depths of the poet or synthesizer Eldokę Yvonne aka Reno maybe he was a little far, but this album was recorded as one of the most important foundations for this, then what did Jay-Z, Nas, 2Pac, Biggie, and especially the Public Enemy and KRS-One.
It may not be direct, a perfect example of father-follower pattern, in the end except for one piece in the form of spoken-word, the rest is here sung, funk-jazz, but this one is a piece of cult today, "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised ", should be placed as one of the most interesting, most expressive and sincere confessions afroncentryzmu przedrapowej era.
Who knows, maybe without that Barack would not be the U.S. president today?
can not I would venture to conclude that without Gil Scott, people like Nas and Jay instead of Majka chwyciliby for mop or a truck wheel, because the phenomenon of rap as well as developed independently of the discontented part of the black community.
Grandmaster Flash and Run-DMC, and so that its done, regardless of whether they would like Malcolm X and the outlawed.
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," however, is so much rap, so much anti-system that can be described as one of the bricks, which created a dense, colorful and varied wall, which is called rap. Heron
why you should be familiar, even if you're a student on Sunday, even if according to you rap began with Liroy.
Well, Yadda Yadda, and further exhaustive review? Probably waiting
obciachowcu with glasses and a sweater for musical vivisection.
It will be difficult to write something new on the CD that came out almost 40 years ago, but I will try to bring you the bright side.
September 9, 1971 - released the album Imagine by John Lennon.
Bright pages on this disc maybe a little less than pessimism, but the climate, however, somehow makes this CD to believe in the future, the rainbow, the sun and stuff.
Ok, the first song is about enough to survive the dark on matters of blacks in those years, but it is probably the most convincing Thracian.
events which he describes, are long obsolete, and most people without google will not know what "The Beverly Hillbillies," but whether the same password to zestarzało? To be considered for each of you.
more convincingly hit us, "Home Is Where The Hatred Is ," in which Heron describes realistically what you remember from home, reasons why they do not want to return just in a place which, reasoning logically, it should just be dock where everyone wants to go back. But not this time, the house is associated with drugs, trauma. How many allusions, memories, genuine pain, even can now be interested. Just
" A Sign Of The Ages , stressing a little bit more pessimistic nature of the Heron (something to write about it per" Gil "strange to me, sorry):
The questions can not be Answered You're always haunted
to the past
The world's full of children
Who Grew Up Too Fast
to finish:
But there is not no peace on Earth, man
Maybe peace When you die, yeah
Your favorite emoraper probably I listened to this piece.
" The Needle's Eye " is for another social commentary wypominający government and the general injustice of the world including that kids are hungry, and cash for the war is. People in turn are overwhelmed, apathetic, do not express their feelings properly.
not the message was old, these problems, even though blacks have a different position today than in 1971, certain aspects of life on our planet do not change. Listening to Heron, even today, you can identify with the lines of, unless of course you have such a need. I am an advocate rather a distanced approach to every word sung / written / rapowanego. But Chuck
D, Immortal Technique and M1 are not sure. The more a tribute to the Heron. Cd
not squeezed tears, but it makes us think about the world, on society, myself. Without a doubt, this is an album for adults, people have already formed, aimed at a sophisticated enough belief that it is not difficult for them standing at one side of the barricade.
second face of the CD tracks are more positive, suggesting that it may, however, something good awaits us in this vale of tears.
"Save The Children " put forward the claim that we nourish, protect and care about dzieciory, which is supposedly to be future. Yes, the same brats who complain today that they have to work for your retirement, the same ones who in 10 years will do brawls in the stadiums and record the cell rape of a colleague.
Heron has the right but to his opinion on this subject, no?
Come on, " When You Are Who You Are " is a track about a woman, a kind of appeal. Imagine that your girlfriend, no matter whether it to redtube or the reala, very trying to impress you. Hehe, that in itself is surprising, after all who would want to impress durnemu tłuściochowi such as you, and why. But suppose yes. Scott-Heron teaches you see this lady that supposedly is so beautiful, that is, it does not need to change, to pretend świrować someone other than the fact it is. Though fashionable in those years were enlarged boobs operations, would probably also esteemed artist hinted something about this. Level of know that you're in the home of Mr. and movement of a good angel / houris (I did not want to check it in the net of religion Heron), but as you wake up next to such an ogre who only yesterday looked brilliant, sometimes you even throw it in the face-GO WHORE TO FEED THE AGENDA. Therefore, take note of themes, but can not fully endorse it.
As the last of the array will be called " I Think I'll Call It A Morning ." Here we have
rozkminy at a higher level, including some kind of assurance:
And I know there is no sense in crying
I know there is not no sense in crying
promise enjoyment of life, drawing on birds , shown as an ideal of freedom, inspire a little more optimistic. Cd
indeed end up a little less joyful " The Prisoner", but does not leave the listener Heron zdołowanego.
Lyrically this album is not oriented to the listener, who listens to music for music. Just like listening to rap, because the bits are cool, and "write the texts of the later" (my favorite quote from the forum SLG), you can not understand the meaning of "Pieces Of A Man" for contemporary music.
November 15, 1971 - Intel released the world's first microprocessor Intel 4004th
separate issue is the musical layer. Well, this is not a rap album, so there is not enough to assess whether sampel cut is good, and that the loop does not hurt.
entering here on little higher level, probably unknown to laymen's name Hubert Laws (do not be afraid to me as well), Bernard Purdie and Brian Jackson (who also helped write some text). And these names, important in the history of the instruments, which serve, come here.
"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," can serve its severity as another example of how the sleepers will be used to do in rap.
Other tracks are vivid, sometimes rapid, intense (eg, " Lady Day and John Coltrane "), funky and jazzy in a cool, building way, others slower, calmer, almost soulful ("I Think I'll Call It A Morning ").
Loose, unimpeded by any framework of art done by the instrumentalists, moreover, was critically acclaimed, praised for niesztampowe and free-jazz excursions.
certainly musically the album was not so crucial as in the text, but is really a perfectly executed.
me the most memorable moments they were taken, which comes with flute Laws ( Or Down You Fall ") and sax (" When You Are Who You Are ").
diversity arrangement makes that the record is good both for meditation in the armchair, and summer trips in the open air.
Do not know if it's funk is so universal, or simply people matched by Heron's so well fulfilled his task. Probably both, and both.
December 20, 1971 - founded the organization Doctors Without Borders.
It's no ridicule in calculating the pluses and minuses.
"Pieces Of A Man" is a classic and one of those nierapowych discs, you need to know, even if it does not drag you to the other species.
Why then embarrassed in the company that you do not know a snatch from one of the first spoken-wordów.
Of course, we know that Heron's debut was even more spoken-wordowy, and "Winter In America " even more appreciated by critics, but "Pieces Of A Man" is a bright shining star in the firmament of great, forgotten accomplishments of our forefathers of rap. Also
is probably:
Thank you, Gil. RIP
